New human heart muscle cells can be formed, but this mainly happens during the first 10 years of life, according to a new study. Other cell types, however, are replaced more quickly. The study demonstrates that the heart muscle is regenerated throughout a person’s life, supporting the idea that it is possible to stimulate the rebuilding of lost heart tissue.
